Has ICAN helped you recover from a cesarean or find VBAC support? Has our Facebook group been a source of education? Has a local chapter been available when you needed it?
All these things and more are made possible by our members!
Become a member and help us reach more birthing people with our advocacy, support, and education. With enough members, we can overturn VBAC bans, impact policy, and build alternative options for birthing people. On a local level, our members help us support birthing people and lead advocacy actions.
We are able to help the thousands of birthing people seeking support when they need it. Won’t you partner with us today?
A portion of your membership can stay with your local chapter!
